Abstract: Finding optimal times to sell a house, to retire, or to hire or fire employees requires solving optimal stopping problems. In this  talk, we will show that optimal stopping problems of linear diffusions  can be directly solved by means of the generalized concave functions and  illustrate the solution method on several numerical examples.
